Performance in Strategy Games

Command & Conquer Generals: Zero Hour

This game also prefers graphics cards that can quickly process pixel shaders. The PowerColor X700 PRO shows its best here, beating the GeForce 6600 GT.

Even having lower frequencies, the PowerColor card keeps on the same level with the GeForce 6600 GT in the “eye candy” mode.

Perimeter

Perimeter is probably the most demanding strategy game we’ve ever met. With the maximum graphics quality settings you will be able to enjoy comfortable gaming only if your system is equipped with the top-end graphics card. As you see, none of the mainstream cards surpassed the 20fps mark, but the RADEON X700 XT and the PowerColor X700 PRO are overall better than the GeForce 6600 GT here.

The above-said things apply here, too, but the absolute speeds are overall lower.
